process:One of the aspects of job searching that's always nerve
wrecking is the interview process. To help reduce that stress, our

as possible with it. The process is as follows:
- 30-minute call with the hiring manager
- 1 collaborative coding assessment
- 3 hours of interviews with the team remotelyWhy
Cisco#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our
talents to work as a team and make a difference, powering an
inclusive future for all.We embrace digital, and help our customers
implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we're
"old" (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but we're also a
software company. And a security company. We even invented an
intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No
other company can do what we do - you can't put us in a box!But
"Digital Transformation" is an empty buzz phrase without a culture
that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if
you learn from it.)Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We
give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves
(because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take
accountability, bold steps, and take differences to heart. Because
without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all,
there is no moving forward.So, you have colorful hair? Don't care.
Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That's cool. Pop
culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world
changing? Be you, with us!
